Chemistry - Carboxylic acid and their Derivatives Question with Solution | TestHub

Reagent LiAlH₄ / Et₂O, then H₃O⁺ is a strong reducing agent.

It reduces ester (–CO₂Me) into primary alcohol (–CH₂OH).

It also opens epoxide ring via nucleophilic attack at less hindered carbon.

Epoxide opening gives alcohol with inversion at attacked carbon.

Both reductions occur simultaneously in the molecule.

Structure matching these changes (ester → alcohol + epoxide opening) is Option D.
